The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to replace current New York Jet Michael Vick with former New York Jet Mark Sanchez. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports the Eagles are interested in Sanchez, who's about to become a free agent. Per Mortensen, they may be ready to sign Sanchez if he passes a physical.

And @mortreport is reporting that, pending a physical, former Jets QB Mark Sanchez is expected to sign with the Eagles.

The Jets made Sanchez's release official on Monday, but health is a factor, as it came with a "failed physical" designation. The expectation is that Sanchez should be ready to take the field for upcoming organized team activities and minicamps. According to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Eagles have some competition for Sanchez from the New York Giants, their NFC East rivals and the Jets' crosstown team.

The #Eagles won't be alone in pursuit of Mark Sanchez, as others including the #Giants should be in the mix. Will be healthy for OTAs.

While Vick will get a good chance to start over second-year man Geno Smith with the Jets, Sanchez would be looked at as the No. 2 quarterback for the Eagles behind Nick Foles. If Sanchez went to the Giants, he would need to compete with Curtis Painter and Ryan Nassib just for a roster spot.

The Oakland Raiders had expressed early interest in Sanchez, but they figure to be out of the picture after trading for former Houston Texan Matt Schaub instead. The Cleveland Browns are another team to watch, as it parted ways with both Brandon Weeden (Cowboys) and Jason Campbell (Bengals).
